Increased overwintering temperature reduces reproductive success of the solitary bee species Osmia bicornis by Sarah Müller, Jana Collatz, Henning Richter, Robert Zboray, Matthias Albrecht

“…In a semi-field experiment we assessed individual life-long reproductive success of 144 females of the solitary bee species Osmia bicornis that had been wintered at three different temperatures. Overwintering mortality of bees was on average 32% higher at winter temperatures of 8 °C compared to 4.5 °C–0 °C, at which almost all bees successfully emerged. …”
